* GRENADA: Finance Minister Seeks Probe on EC$76MM Taiwan Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jamaica Gleaner reports that Grenada Finance Minister Nazim Burke
has ordered an investigation into whether loans from Taiwan
totaling EC$76 million (US$28.1 million) to Grenada before it
broke off diplomatic relations in 2005 had been approved by
parliament. Mr. Burke is currently acting as prime minister in
the absence of Tillman Thomas.
The aim of the investigation, he said, is to confirm whether that
had been done by the former Keith Mitchell administration,
according to Jamaica Gleaner.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Oct. 28, 2011, Jamaica Gleaner said Mr. Burke has accused Taiwan
of trying to cripple the island's economy as it attempts to
recover loans. Mr. Burke's comments in a radio interview come
amid reports that Taiwan has sought to seize Grenadian properties
in the United States in an attempt to collect the outstanding
money. Jamaica Gleaner noted that Mr. Burke said Taiwan had
refused proposals for a negotiated settlement to the problem,
instead insisting on payments of the entire loan. The report
related Mr. Burke said Grenada cannot pay all the outstanding
money immediately. Informed sources said that Grenada plans to
seek the intervention of St Kitts-Nevis, St Lucia and St Vincent
and the Grenadines -- countries with diplomatic relations with
Taipei -- to help mediate a settlement, Jamaica Gleaner added.
Meanwhile, Jamaica Gleaner relates that the opposition has called
for Mr. Burke to resign or be fired, saying he was mishandling
the financial row that has developed, according to Jamaica
Gleaner.
"Because of his mismanagement, he has plunged the country into
the worst financial disaster that ever experienced by any of our
people . . . . We are calling on the prime minister to fire the
minister," Jamaica Gleaner quoted said former Attorney General
Elvin Nimrod of the main opposition New National Party (NNP).
Jamaica Gleaner notes that former Finance Minister Anthony
Boatswain said that the Mitchell administration should not be
blamed for Taiwan's subpoenaing these institutions. The report
relates that Mr. Boatswain said an effort to deal with the debt
was interrupted by general elections.

* CHIHUAHUA STATE: Moody's Lowers Issuer Ratings to 'Ba1'
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's de Mexico downgraded the State of Chihuahua's issuer
ratings to Ba1 (Global Scale, local currency) and A1.mx (Mexico
National Scale) from Baa3 and Aa3.mx, respectively. The outlook
on the issuer ratings remains stable.
Issuers or issues rated A1.mx present above-average
creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers.
Ratings Rationale
The downgrade on the issuer rating is driven by Chihuahua's weak
financial performance. The state has recorded continuous modest
cash financing requirements that have led to increases in debt
over the past five years.
Over the period 2006-2010 Chihuahua registered consecutive cash
financing requirements that have averaged -4.8% of total
revenues, a moderate level. Moody's expects cash financing
requirements will increase in 2011 driven by the operating
(mainly education and public security) and capital spending
pressures in conjunction with the slowdown of revenue growth due
to the deceleration of the Mexican economy and the absence of a
state tax that substitutes the federal vehicle registry tax.
The weak financial performance led to a rapid increase in debt
levels as a percentage of total revenues. Over the period 2006-
2010, net direct and indirect debt to total revenues ratio
increased at a compound annual growth rate of 44%, reaching 20.3%
in 2010 from a low 4.7% in 2006. "Moody's expects this indicator
will trend up to roughly 30% by the end of 2011, considering the
MXN 3 billion bond issued last September", said Moody's Assistant
Vice-President Adrian Garza.
The issuer ratings continue to reflect Chihuahua's good
governance and management practices and its solid economy.
"Chihuahua shows the highest ratio of own source revenues to
total revenues among Moody's rated States", said Mr. Garza.
However, Chihuahua's strengths are partially offset by the
relatively weak liquidity which hinders Chihuahua's capacity to
face unexpected financial shocks, and by the unfunded pension
liabilities of uncertain size that could potentially limit the
state's financial flexibility in the medium term.
A steady reduction in cash financing requirements that lead to
the decrease in debt levels along with the strengthening of the
liquidity position, and measures to address the unfunded pension
liabilities, could likely exert upward pressure on the ratings.
Conversely, a shift in policy direction that results in greater
than expected cash financing requirements, significant increases
in debt and tighter liquidity could exert downward pressure on
the ratings.
* MORELOS STATE: Moody's Changes 'Ba2' Rating Outlook to Positive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's de Mexico changed the outlook on the State of Morelos'
A2.mx issuer rating (Mexico National Scale) and Ba2 issuer rating
(Global Scale, local currency) to positive from stable.
Ratings Rationale
The outlook change reflects: (1) solid financial results in
recent years and (2) very low debt indicators, even after
considering expected additional debt. Both key drivers are
supported by Morelos' good governance and management practices.
Over the last five years, Morelos has registered consecutive
annual cash financing surpluses equivalent, on average, to 1.8%
of total revenues. "These results reflect the state's consistent
efforts to control expenditure growth and initiatives to increase
own-source revenues", said Moody's Assistant Vice-President
Adrian Garza. While Moody's expects the state to register a non
recurring cash financing deficit due to additional capital
expenditures in 2011, Moody's considers it will be moderate and
that it will not represent a shift in fiscal policy.
Morelos' strong financial performance has resulted in very low
debt levels. Moody's expects debt indicators to increase in
2011, since the state will finance its 2011 deficit with two 15
year loans with Bancomer and Banamex. These credits will add up
to MXN 1 billion to the state's debt. Roughly 10% of the states'
participation transfers are pledged for debt service payments
through a trust. Accordingly, net direct and indirect debt to
total revenues ratio will increase in 2011 to roughly 6%, still a
very low level as compared to Moody's rated Mexican States", said
Mr. Garza. Furthermore, Morelos does not face significant
refinancing risks since use of short term financing is minimal.
The ratings of Morelos also reflect: (a) relatively narrow
economy that constrains own-source revenues, (b) tight liquidity
which hinders Morelos capacity to face unexpected financial
shocks, and (c) unfunded pension liabilities of unknown size that
could potentially limit Morelos' financial flexibility in the
medium term.
The positive outlook reflects the trends of financial performance
and low debt metrics. Over the next 12 to 18 months, the decision
to upgrade the ratings will depend on Morelos' (a) registering
modest cash financing deficits, (b) maintaining low debt levels,
and (c) preserving strong governance and management.
Although Moody's does not expect downward pressure on the ratings
over the short term, a significant shift in policy direction that
results in greater than expected cash financing requirements,
significant increases in debt, tighter liquidity and/or the
weakening of governance and management practices could lead to
the revision of the outlook back to stable.

CL FIN'L: Caretaker Sues Former Exec Over TT$3.4MM Loan
-------------------------------------------------------
Camini Marajh at Trinidad Express reports that the Trinidad and
Tobago government-appointed caretaker management of CL Financial
Limited has sued former executive Anthony Maharaj over an alleged
unpaid loan related to his 2007 acquisition of the group's media
unit, CL Communications Ltd.
The lawsuit is seeking damages for an alleged unpaid debt of some
TT$3,441,937 owed to CL Financial plus damages, interest and
legal costs, among other things, according to Trinidad Express.
The report, citing the statement of case made out against Mr.
Maharaj, relates that Mr. Maharaj reneged on an April 17, 2007
promissory note to CLF for a block of 70,009 shares held in the
group's media unit.
Trinidad Express discloses that the action, filed by attorney Kim
Berkeley, contends that Mr. Maharaj "wrongfully omitted, failed
and/or neglected to pay the promised sum" of money on or before
June 30, 2007 for the receipt of CL Communications shares.
The report notes that a demand for payment on the outstanding
debt was made by CL Financial Chief Financial Officer Winston
Millette on June 14 and again on June 22 this year. The June 22
correspondence which referenced a response from Mr. Maharaj's
attorney Dharmendra Punwasee made clear that CL Financial was not
inclined to grant Mr. Maharaj's request for an extension of the
seven-day settlement deadline which Mr. Millette had issued in
his letter of June 14.
The June 22 correspondence instead put Mr. Maharaj on notice of
CL Financial's intention to sue for recovery of the outstanding
debt if he did not immediately settle the account, Trinidad
Express says. The report relates that Mr. Punwasee, in a
response to Mr. Millette two days later, however, insisted that
the debt had been settled in full.
Mr. Punwasee said the CLF debt was paid via two cheque payments,
the first by way of a CLICO Investment Bank (CIB) manager's
cheque dated February 14, 2007 and the second, by way of a
TT$2,384,615 cheque paid directly to CL Financial's account by
Louis Andre Monteil &/or his wife Sherlyn Rose Marie Monteil,
former group financial director and former chairman of CIB,
Trinidad Express relates.
E-mail correspondence from Colonial Life Insurance Company
(Trinidad) Limited (CLICO) Accounting Officer Corrie Gomez to Mr.
Millette, however, made clear there is no evidence on record that
any such payments were received by the CL Financial group,
Trinidad Express notes. The report relates that Mr. Gomez, in
the court filing, said that Mr. Maharaj's claim of a TT$15
million CIB-issued cheque paid to CLICO could not be
substantiated.
Mr. Maharaj's attorney had said that TT$1,057,322 of the
TT$15 million cheque payment had been applied to the CLF sale of
CL Communications shares, the report adds.
About CL Financial

diversified company by his nephew, Lawrence Duprey. CL Financial
is now one of the largest local conglomerates in the region,
encompassing over 65 companies in 32 countries worldwide with
total assets standing at roughly US100 billion.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
August 10, 2009, A.M. Best Co. downgraded the financial strength
rating to C (Weak) from B (Fair) and issuer credit rating to
"ccc" from "bb" of Colonial Life Insurance Company (Trinidad)
Limited (CLICO) (Trinidad & Tobago). The ratings remain under
review with negative implications. CLICO is an insurance member
company of CL Financial Limited (CL Financial), a diversified
holding company based in Trinidad & Tobago.
According to a TCR-LA report on Feb. 20, 2009, citing Trinidad
and Tobago Express, Tobago President George Maxwell Richards
signed bailout bills for CL Financial, giving the government the
authority to control the company's unit, Colonial Life Insurance
Company, and giving the central bank extensive powers to treat
with CL Financial's collapse and the consequent systemic crisis.

with a US$50 million loan approved by the Inter-American
Development Bank (IDB).
The operation will target a number of malfunctioning or abandoned
wastewater treatment plants in three sub-catchments draining in
the Caroni River Basin, in a densely populated area known as the
East-West Corridor. This corridor stretches from the capital of
Port-of-Spain to Arima, some 15 miles to the east.
Seven treatment plants will be interconnected with integrated
systems that will draw their wastewaters into a number of larger
plants, four of which will be rehabilitated. Priority works will
begin in the Maloney sub-catchment.
As a result of the program, levels of contamination in affected
rivers and streams will be drastically reduced and brought to
compliance with the country's stringent Water Pollution Rules.
A total of 13 kilometers of sewers and pipes will be laid as part
of the five-year operation to complement the works on the
wastewater treatment plants, benefitting more than 9,000 families
currently being affected by poor wastewater management. While
these families are the direct target of the proposed
intervention, the whole urban population of Trinidad and Tobago
will benefit from the improved water quality and better
environmental conditions.
Water monitoring programs and training on operation and
maintenance of the rehabilitated plants will ensure the
sustainability of these investments. In addition, the project
aims to improve the efficiency of WASA, cutting down operating
expenses within a broader personnel reorganization framework.
With program resources, compensation packages and vocational
training will be financed as part of this restructuring process.
The loan is for a 25-year term, with a five-year grace period, at
a variable interest rate based on LIBOR.

***********
Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to
publication. Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual
trades. Prices for actual trades are probably different. Our
objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly
traded securities. Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer or
solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind. It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.
Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication. At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical
cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a
firm's assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance
sheet for liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at
which equity securities trade in public market are determined by
more than a balance sheet solvency test.
A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
